Trial summary

Magnesium salts such as magnesium citrate are often combined with polyethylene glycol to make the intestinal preparation before colonoscopy, which has shown high cleaning efficacy. Magnesium sulfate combined with polyethylene glycol is less used in the world. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Magnesium Sulfate With Low-volume Polyethylene Glycol for Bowel Preparation Before Colonoscopy: A Multicentre, Randomized, Controlled Trial

Magnesium salts such as magnesium citrate are often combined with polyethylene glycol to make the intestinal preparation before colonoscopy, which has shown high cleaning efficacy. Magnesium sulfate combined with polyethylene glycol is less used in the world. This multicenter, randomized, controlled trial is aimed at to evaluate the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate combined with low-volume polyethylene glycol for preoperative bowel preparation for colonoscopy.

Being tested
1L PEG + 50g magnesium sulfate, 3L PEG, 4L PEG
Keywords
Magnesium sulfate, colonoscopy, bowel preparation, adenoma detection rate

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 1L PEG + 50g magnesium sulfateDrug

    Subjects in Group A will use a regimen combining magnesium sulfate and polyethylene glycol for preoperative bowel preparation and undergo colonoscopy. 1 litter of polyethylene glycol is taken at 8pm the day before the colonoscopy and 50 gram of magnesium sulfate is taken 4-6 hours before the colonoscopy, and then drink 2000 ml of water within 2 hours.

  • 3L PEGDrug

    Subjects in Group B will use a regimen with 3L polyethylene glycol for preoperative bowel preparation and undergo colonoscopy. The 3 liters of polyethylene glycol solution is taken in split dosing, with 1 liter taken at 8pm the day before the colonoscopy and 2 liters taken 4-6 hours before the colonoscopy.

  • 4L PEGDrug

    Subjects in Group C will use a regimen with 4L polyethylene glycol for preoperative bowel preparation and undergo colonoscopy. The 4 liters of polyethylene glycol solution is taken in split dosing, with 2 liters taken at 8pm the day before the colonoscopy and 2 liters taken 4-6 hours before the colonoscopy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adequate bowel preparation rate

    Defined as the proportion of participants with score ≥ 2 for all colon segment (right-side colon, transverse colon, and left-side colon) according to the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale

    Measured: 30minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Excellent bowel preparation rate

    The proportion of participants with total score ≥ 8 according to Boston Bowel Preparation Scale.

    Measured: 30minutes

  2. BBPS score (including total score, left colon, transverse colon, and right colon)

    Measured: 30minutes

  3. Adenoma detection rate

    Measured: 10 days

  4. Bowel preparation completion rate

    Measured: 30minutes

  5. Electrolyte levels

    Measured: 8 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 1L PEG + 50g magnesium sulfate, 3L PEG and 4L PEG in people with Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy, run by Changhai Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adequate bowel preparation rate (time frame: 30minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06728839, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
